Boscawen Un submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. I should really keep this a secret! - the best time to visit Boscawen Un, on a quiet evening in May when bluebells are still carpeting the circle. Something to hang on to while we endure the bleak days of winter. (Don't tell anyone.......!)

NGR: SN06093930 (Landranger map 145/Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map (No 35))
Located close to the centre of Newport in Pembrokeshire with public access. Although called a tripod dolmen four uprights exist - only two of which support the capstone (which is said to replicate the summit of Carn Ingli to the south).
Excavations have revealed cremated bone, Beaker and Grooved ware sherds.

Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Coetan Arthur Dolmen submitted by Johnny on 25th Aug 2001. Coetan Arthur, St. David's Head, Dyfed
(SM725 281):
Impressively situated on the hillside close to St. David's Head, Coetan Arthur is the collapsed chamber of what is presumed to be a passage grave which also has a round barrow. The massive capstone measures approximately 5.9 meters by 2.6 meters and is supported on one side by an orthostat approximately 1.5 meters in height.

Log Text: Directions
Follow the Pembrokeshire Coastal footpath north from the car park at Whitesands Bay towards St Davids Head for about 1.75Km. The capstone can be clearly seen from the path.
Description
The monument is of the earth fast sub megalithic type and consists of a capstone measuring 3.6m by 2.5m and is supported by a single upright measuring 1.8m. Two further uprights have been identified lying beneath the capstone suggesting that this was a collapsed conventional form of chamber. The nearest comparison is the Kings Quoit at Manorbeir.

NGR: SN17052564 (Landranger map 145/Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map (No 35))
Located 6km south east of Crymych in Carmarthenshire on a steep wooded ridge overlooking the River Taff (at this point the river changes character from slow flowing to rapids).
The large capstone (pointing towards the river to the west) is supported by four uprights. The tomb would once have been covered by an oval or circular mound - s...

Log Text: Directions
From Crymych travel south on the A478 to the hamlet of Glandy Cross, turn left towards Llanglydwen for approximately 4Km. Drive through the village past the Bont pub. Turn right towards Login and pull into the lay by on the right. Around 100 yards is the start of the footpath marked ‘Penpontbren’ walk down this path following the wood which is on the right for between 10 and 15 minutes until you come to a steel farm gate, climb over the gate and take the left hand path for approximately 100 yards to the monument.
This impressive monument consists of a large single capstone supported by four uprights which appear to delineate a polygonal chamber. A fifth upright was recorded by Barnwell in 1872 suggesting that this formed an entrance. Surrounding the monument is a series of kerb stones which are possibly the remnants of an earthen mound.
